The Bay Area Native filmed a cool version of “The News About William” with just acoustic guitar/vocals and trumpet. We think the video, audio, and background came out pretty nicely…hope you like it too!

Sorry about the late notice folks, but we are involved in a drawing for some cool prizes over at the Hoco Festival website. In conjunction with the Artists For Action group you can enter to win raffle items from us, Devotchka, Cris Kirkwood from Meat Puppets, etc. Only $5 to enter… Winners will be picked at the Spoon show tonight at Rialto.

For our upcoming tour dates with Arcade Fire we made some new double-sided posters that we’ll be giving away FOR FREE at our merch stand. Below are a couple cell phone pics of what they’ll look like (click for a larger size). Sorry about the grainyness but you get the idea.

In the wake of The Suburbs’ #1 chart debut, Arcade Fire has confirmed another leg of dates stretching from Minnesota to Mexico… and Calexico will be the supporting band!

This installation of North American dates will begin September 22 at the Roy Wilkins Arena in St. Paul MN, swinging through western Canada, the pacific northwestern U.S., and California before concluding October 12 at Monterrey, Mexico’s Banamex Theater.

Here’s a list of dates with Calexico on the bill. For more information and links to tickets visit the TOUR page.

Last night we kicked off our tour in Vancouver and today we’d like to celebrate by giving away a live album recorded in 2009 at a show we played in Nuremberg, Germany. Please check out the stream, grab the free 320kbps download, tell a friend, and overall…ENJOY!

Over in the Tour section we’ve added several new summer and early fall dates – U.S., European, festival, and standalone venues. There will be more in the near future, so keep your eyes peeled. Hope to see you out on the road!
